THE VALDARES.

The entertainment which tbe Valdares Variety Company plj.cs before the public at the Theatre Royal this evening is one that is rarely to be witnessed. Thorn is such a marvellous combination of talent that it is difficult to say which performers eclipse the others. We have already referred at length to the phenomenal tricks executed on bicycles and half bicycles, but these are only a portion of the entertainment. One of the prominent features of the programme is the high wire turn of the Sisters VaWares, whose waltzing, pirouettiiog, passingjand carrying on the slender wire is remarkable for the ease and finish with which the graceful movements are carried out This is an item which never fails to secure the heartiest applaus?. Another popular item is the clever balancing and juggling by M. Arlo, whose rapid and dext ereus manipulation of knives,' halls, plates, etc., is marvellous to a degree. The magical feats performed | by tfee rouowned Zamoni hive besn everywhere receiver] wish yreat zest, while bis ventriloquism is not only amazing but intensely amusing. Then for these who revei in a vaudeville entertainment, Messrs Shepherd and Hartford provide no excellent fund of amuse'aaent, in addition to tome caplt.il singing. Mies Galardi alao contributes to the singing and dancing, her variety songs being very popular. Tho entertairimorv.t concludes with a really funny sketch, which invariably seeds the audience home in a thorough good humour. Seat« can be booked at Mr McKisaiaon Bain's.
